The World’s Finest has published its review of the Constantine: City of Demons – The Movie animated feature, now available to own on Digital HD, 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray and Blu-ray. In short, While sometimes hampered by the limitations of its budget, Constantine: City of Demons – The Movie exudes confidence in both its feature character and the story it wants to tell, and even that is bolstered by having actor Matt Ryan back in the trench-coat as DC Comics’ top occultist. It’s a great showcase for the character and builds nicely on his ever-growing cult following. To read the complete review, click on the image below.

Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has also provided a video clip from Constantine: City of Demons – The Movie, which features Constantine (voiced by Ryan) and Chas (voiced by Damian O’Hare) discussing the possibility of recruiting the Aztec God Mictlantecuhtli to assist in their quest to save Chas’s daughter.

Announced January 8, 2017 at the Television Critics Association Press Tour, The CW revealed the character John Constantine will return in animated form, headlining a short-form animated series to air on the CW Seed digital outlet.

The CW and CW Seed’s Constantine animated series, which will air during the 2017-18 TV season, spins out of the short-lived NBC live-action series of the same name. Constantine aired in 2014 on NBC before being cancelled after a single season. Matt Ryan, who starred on the short-lived NBC drama, will return to voice the lead character. Ryan reprised the role of Constantine for an episode of the live-action The CW series Arrow and also voiced the character in the DC Universe Animated Original Movie title Justice League Dark.

The animated series will consist of five or six 10-minute episodes that will premiere on CW Seed, joining short-form animated series’ Vixen and Freedom Fighters: The Ray. Additionally, the 13 episodes of the live-action Constantine series are currently available for streaming on CW Seed.

Based on the DC character created in 1985, Constantine centers on John Constantine, a man who struggles with his faith as he is haunted by the sins of his past and suddenly is thrust into the role of defending humanity from the gathering forces of darkness. In the NBC series, he was a British exorcist and occult detective who spends his days hunting supernatural entities.

David Goyer, who worked on the live-action NBC series, will be an executive producer on the animated series, along with Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schechter, who also are executive producers on The CW’s slate of superhero-themed shows, including Arrow, The Flash, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow and Supergirl.
